Senior Associate Advisor | Wealth Management

Thread line Wealth is an independent SEC-registered investment adviser serving high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners. We combine sophisticated wealth management and investment solutions with a highly personalized client experience.

We are a modern independent firm focused on long-term growth, operational excellence, and thoughtful collaboration across advisory, investment, operations, and client service teams.

The Senior Associate Advisor plays a key role in delivering comprehensive wealth management and financial planning services to clients. Working closely with Wealth Advisors and Senior Wealth Advisors, this individual serves as a capable co-advisor and project manager across assigned client relationships, helping drive planning, implementation, and the overall client experience.

Senior Associate Advisors are expected to own the execution of client work, proactively identify developing client needs, contribute planning recommendations, and provide guidance to less experienced team members. This role is designed for an advisor who has developed a strong technical foundation and is building the judgment, client presence, leadership skills, and external network necessary to advance to a Wealth Advisor role.

This position may be based in San Francisco Bay Area, depending on business needs and candidate fit. The role follows a hybrid work model, with regular in-office collaboration expected approximately 3–4 days per week. Because our advisory teams serve clients across multiple markets, some travel for client meetings and other business needs should be expected.
